DRIVE Berlin: Building hardtech mobility - from Berlin to Europe
Join MotionLab.Berlin and EIT Urban Mobility as we kick off our new partnership and celebrate the official launch of DRIVE Berlin. A joint programme connecting Berlin's hardtech infrastructure with EIT Urban Mobility's pan-European mobility investment network to help early-stage physical tech companies scale across Europe.
To mark the occasion, we're bringing together founders, investors, operators and ecosystem friends for a sharp panel discussion, live vehicle demos, and an outdoor summer BBQ in our backyard.
The panel: Building hardtech mobility
From first prototype to product launch & European scale
Bringing physical mobility products to life takes serious grit, capital, and the right network. We're sitting down with key voices across founding, corporate VC, and public-private investment to talk about what it really takes to de-risk hardtech and scale across Europe:
Julian Glaab – Co-Founder & CEO, Bliq
Aurianne Legris – Corporate VC & Innovation, Honda Innovations
Johannes Kirschner – Investment Manager, EIT Urban Mobility
James Hollis - Head of Product, Enyring
Backyard BBQ, drinks & live demos
After the panel, the celebration continues outside. Grab a drink, enjoy the BBQ, catch up with the community, and get hands-on with some of the tech coming out of our ecosystem:
Bliq Vehicle Showcase: Get up close with Bliq's vehicle platform, fresh off their landmark autonomous fleet deployment.
Enyring Test Drives: Hop on and experience Enyring’s swappable battery ecosystem in action.
